A knife in love

Chapter 1997
When Feng Wei said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "At the time when the heavy snow stopped, Li Cunxu led the army to fight to the death. He was a famous general in hundreds of battles, and Yelubei led the army to retreat. Although he left five thousand elite soldiers to confuse the enemy, However, Li Cunxu immediately noticed that the Liao army was loose, and immediately launched a fierce attack. Although the five thousand Liao troops left behind by Yelvbei were all sturdy, how could they stop Li Cunxu, a murderous devil? Not long after, these five thousand soldiers The horse was killed by Li Cunxu, and the army was defeated. When the coach Yelubei disappeared, the defeated Liao army dispersed. Li Cunxu was about to lead the army to chase and kill, and Li Siyuan, who stayed behind in the camp, sent a fast horse. The report said that the Liao army in Yizhou City had quietly left the north gate and was retreating northward.

"When Li Cunxu heard that the Liao army was returning to the north, he immediately knew that the soldiers and horses he had ambushed near Yuzhou had already succeeded. The Liao army lost its food, grass and weapons, and would definitely withdraw from Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, and dare not fight here. Therefore He led the army back to the camp, and summoned Li Siyuan and other generals to discuss matters. Li Cunxu specifically asked Li Siyuan to lead [-] troops and follow the Liao army to the north. However, he should not fight the Liao army unless they occupy the city. , to send troops to attack the city and drive the Liao army away.

"Li Siyuan and the others didn't know why the Liao army retreated suddenly when they had the upper hand. Hearing Li Cunxu's words, they became more and more suspicious. They thought to themselves that the Liao army had 10,000+ troops, but our troops were less than [-]. It was a fluke to win the Liao army in Dingzhou City and Wangdu City. Tonight, I had a scuffle with Yelubei's soldiers and horses, and I was already at a disadvantage. If Yelubei did not withdraw suddenly, I am afraid that Li Cunxu's entire army would have been wiped out But he said that the Liao army was going to withdraw from Youyun Sixteen States. Isn't this just a dream?
"Li Cunxu saw that all the generals looked at each other in dismay, and all of them showed doubts on their faces. Knowing that they didn't know what their plan was, Li Cunxu said to the generals that Yelu Abaoji's southern expedition brought all the good generals and elite soldiers from the Liao Kingdom. From outside the Great Wall to the southern tip of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, it is more than two thousand miles. Although the Liao army captured more than half of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, all the soldiers and horses were concentrated in the vicinity of Yizhou, and the back was extremely empty. I have already They sent people to collect the defeated soldiers in advance and hid them near Weizhou. When the time came, they recaptured Weizhou and burned all the grain, grass and ordnance of the Liao army accumulated in the city. There is no basis for soldiers and horses to advance and retreat, and they will certainly collapse without fighting. Yelu Abao has experienced hundreds of battles, how can he not know the benefits and disadvantages? Therefore, if he does not want to leave this old bone here, he can only retreat immediately and rush back. Eat outside the Great Wall.

"All the generals suddenly realized what Li Cunxu said, and they all nodded in agreement. Li Cunxu gritted his teeth and said that the King of Jin left only a few troops in the Sixteen States of Youyun this time, and he led the army south to attack the traitor Zhu Wen. It is because he made a covenant with Yelu Abaoji that they would not attack each other, otherwise the king of Jin would not have sent out all his troops and put the sixteen prefectures of Youyun in such a dangerous place. The old thief Yelu broke the covenant, he is despicable and shameless. This traitor is even more hateful. This time he was forced to withdraw from the Sixteen States of Youyun. Although he could not be killed, it could also make him fearful and dare not underestimate us. After Zhu Wen was wiped out, Jin Once the king dominates the Central Plains, he can send his troops to the north to wipe out these Khitan thieves!
"After Li Cunxu finished speaking, he immediately asked Li Siyuan to lead five thousand elite soldiers to set off immediately. He repeatedly told Li Siyuan that there is a saying in the art of war. Don't cover up when you return to the teacher, and don't chase after the poor. You are not leading the army northward to fight to the death with the Khitan people. , but it should not be too far away, fifty or sixty miles apart is the best. It is enough to make Yelu Abaoji panic and not dare to fight again. In this way, when he retreats, he has no time to spend in each of the sixteen prefectures of Youyun. Leave suspicious soldiers everywhere. When he returns to the outside of the Great Wall to recuperate and go south again, the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures have no internal response, so it will be much easier for us to defeat him."

When Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu heard what Feng Wei said, they both thought in their hearts that Li Cunxu is worthy of being a first-class general in the world, not to mention brave and good at fighting, and his wisdom is not inferior to any famous general in ancient and modern times.He had a clear insight into Yelu Abaoji's thoughts, so he sent Li Siyuan to follow the Liao army to march northward, not to mention retaking Youyun sixteen prefectures intact, and to prevent the Liao army from going south again.It's a pity that such a great general died at the hands of an actor even though he became emperor in the end.If he could have lived a few more years, he might have wiped out the Liao Kingdom long ago, and there would be no more tragedies of repeated oppression in the Song Dynasty.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he only heard Feng Wei continue: "Li Siyuan received the general order and immediately led 5000 troops to march northward. At that time, all the Liao troops in Yizhou City had retreated. Li Siyuan led the soldiers and horses through the city, followed The traces of the Liao army were chasing to the north. One of his lieutenants saw that Li Siyuan led his troops in such a hurry, he felt a little puzzled, so he said to Li Siyuan, the prince of Jin wants us to follow the Liao army to the north and not to fight with him. Now We are only [-] to [-] miles away from the Liao army, which is too close. If Yelu Abao wants to get rid of us secretly, he only needs to send [-] to [-] soldiers and horses to rush over, and we will be wiped out immediately. Should we rest? After a while, it won't be too late to follow after the Liao army has gone further.

"Li Siyuan shook his head and refused, but only urged the soldiers to chase northward. Although the generals were puzzled, they didn't dare to ask more questions, so they could only follow Li Siyuan to chase the Liao army. They didn't know that Li Siyuan worked so hard because another Have a picture.

"Li Siyuan is the adopted son of Li Keyong, the King of Jin, and he is also a well-known general. Fan followed Li Cunxu to the north to resist Yelu Abaoji. Li Siyuan was also ambitious and wanted to make contributions to Jin Wang Li Keyong. However, Li Cunxu first defeated Liao Emperor Yelu Abaoji under the city of Dingzhou, and then captured Wangdu City. Feng pointed directly at Yizhou City. Ever since the rise of the Khitan, he has never suffered such a big loss. Li Siyuan knew that after this battle, Li Cunxu would surely shake the world, and if he did not make any contribution, he would be suppressed by Li Cunxu.

"Over the years, Li Siyuan followed Jin Wang Li Keyong to conquer the east and west, and made a lot of military exploits. Although he admired Li Cunxu's bravery and invincibility, he did not dare to be the first in everything, so that Li Cunxu could shine, but he was still jealous of Li Cunxu Li Siyuan is a very smart person, and he knows that Li Cunxu is vicious and suspicious. When Li Keyong was alive, Li Cunxu did not dare to do anything to him. But once Li Keyong passed away, Li Cunxu had to kill himself when he became the king of Jin. Therefore, in the past few years, Li Siyuan secretly made friends with many civil servants and generals under Li Keyong's tent, trying to take Li Cunxu and replace him.

"This time Li Siyuan went north with Li Cunxu, his counselor told him secretly that Yelu Abaoji, the Lord of the Liao Dynasty, broke the covenant and attacked the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, which made the king of Jin furious. Those who can make great achievements in this northward march must surely To be able to win the favor of the King of Jin. The general is brave and wise, how can he submit to such a madman as Li Cunxu? Therefore, the general is ordered to follow Li Cunxu to go north to deal with Liao. One of the first things is to beware of Li Cunxu Holding the military power and taking the opportunity to murder the general, the second thing is to see the right time to make great contributions in order to win the favor of the King of Jin. Although Li Cunxu is the son of the King of Jin, he is cruel and easy to kill, and his temperament is rebellious. The King of Jin has repeatedly warned that he But he never changed. The general is generous and won the hearts of the army and the people. As long as he serves the king of Jin well, after a hundred years, the title of king of Jin may not necessarily fall on Li Cunxu's head. It is an excellent opportunity, the general should not let it go easily."
