Han Shizu

Chapter 75

At the beginning, when Liu Zhiyuan first became emperor, when the news reached Tokyo, in order to prevent Hedong troops and horses, Yelu Deguang arranged some countermeasures, and arranged several troops and horses around the Hedong sphere of influence.

Geng Chongmei led the army to Luzhou, but was beaten by Liu Chengyou who went south and annihilated the entire army, and received a lunch box ahead of time.

Cui Tingxun tried to save Heyang, and beware of Ze and Lu. As a result, Chrysanthemum was suddenly stabbed by Wu Xingde, and he was defeated by many enemies.That is to say, Yelu Deguang did not punish his crimes, and gave him a chance to regroup. To this day, he is still at a stalemate with Wu Xingde in Heyang.After a counter-offensive, they also won a small victory, but they were attacked by Li Wanchao, who was stationed in Zezhou.

In addition, it was Zhao Kuangzan, the son of Zhao Yanshou, the king of Yan, who was the Jiedushi in Hezhong.Hezhong is an important site, the ancient "Hedong", a strategic location, but Zhao Kuangzan estimated that he had received his father's reminder and behaved very low-key, staying in Puzhou, watching the current situation, and did not show any aggression.

The remaining one is Gao Tangying. This gentleman is not too active, he procrastinates and never takes office.It was not until Yelude Guangshe went north of the Central Plains that they followed suit.

This time, he was ordered to retake Anyang, but he did not dare to hesitate any longer.Following him northward, a group of Yan soldiers and several Jin troops surrendered, with a total of more than [-] people. In addition, Yelubalide personally led [-] Khitan elites to escort them.

First there was Wu Xingde, then Luo Yangun.When the news of Luo Yanhuan's defection reached Liyang, Yelu Deguang was so angry that he summoned the general Yelu Jieli to the imperial camp and reprimanded him severely. Unknown" felony
In the face of the continuous surrender of soldiers and defections, Yelu Deguang's heart has already raised his vigilance against the Jin soldiers and Han generals to the highest level, and let them attack Anyang, obviously there is also a desire to let them consume each other.

In fact, if it wasn't for the scruples that caused unnecessary chaos, Yelu Deguang wanted to order the states to kill all the Jin troops.Fortunately, Yelu Deguang, who was on his way to the north, became more and more irritable, but his mind became more and more sober.

If you want to kill, when you go south to Kaifeng, you should take advantage of them to gather together and solve them together.At this time, if such an order is given, it is almost certain that the prefectures and counties under the Khitan rule will be in flames without the Khitan troops from all over the place.

By the time Gao Tangying and Yelubali had reached the foot of Anyang City, the four gates of Anyang City were already closed, and they were ready to fight. Obviously, the rebels in the city were taking precautions.After hearing the news that the Liao army was heading north, Liang Hui wisely condensed all the troops in Anyang City, exhausted the treasury, used all the armor to arm the army, used all the money to motivate the soldiers, and mobilized the whole city. Military and civilian guard the city.
"After staying, how many troops are there in this Liao army?" One of the commanders asked nervously from the city tower, looking at the two huge army formations that were clearly divided into the city below.

"It should be tens of thousands of people." Liang Hui's legs were also a little weak, and he tried to stabilize his mind and said.

Swallowing, Du Xiao's face turned pale, and he said sadly: "I heard that the Khitans have three to four hundred thousand soldiers, if they all come, how can we resist them!"

"Idiot! Do you think that all the Khitan troops and horses will gather in Xiangzhou?" Liang Hui immediately interrupted the mourning of his men and scolded.However, the nervousness on his face could not be concealed at all. There must be hundreds of thousands of people beside the Khitan Emperor who had returned to the north.

"They seem to be attacking, what should I do?"

"What should I do? Pass my order and keep it for me first!" Liang Hui said sternly, with a loud voice, expelling the fear in his heart.

Going to the city for two or three miles, looking at the city, and ordering people to lay out the siege equipment that was being transported, Gao Tangying personally rode his horse to Yeluba before the battle to ask for instructions: "General Yelu, are we going to attack here?"

"It's all handed over to the high envoy!" Yelubalide looked a little arrogant, and said with a sideways look: "This Anyang is where your government is located, so you have to hurry up. Your Majesty is very annoyed at this thief. Don't disappoint Your Majesty."

Although Yelubalide's attitude was very unpleasant, Gao Tangying still had to laugh with him, hurriedly fight back, and ordered an attack.

The development of things has exceeded Liang Hui's imagination from the beginning.He naturally had no intention of preventing the Khitans from returning to the north, but as far as Yelu Deguang was concerned, his occupation of Anyang City was a thorn in the way of the Khitans returning and had to be removed.Moreover, their behavior of capturing the city and killing officials just angered Yelu Deguang, who was getting more and more angry.
However, the soldiers of Yan and Jin soldiers under Gao Tangying's men were not single-minded, and their soldiers were not single-minded. In addition, they had worked hard to march along the way, and there were many complaints. Let them go to storm the fortified city, where can they do their best.[-]% of the combat power, it is not bad to be able to play [-]% of the battle strength. The attack was tentatively, and the result was a hasty end.

Afterwards, there was no further breakthrough, until Yelu Deguang arrived in Anyang, and it was the same.

In the west of Anyang, in the Huanshui Valley, reconnaissance from the Longqi Army cavalry has become more and more frequent.Since those war horses were taken in, the cavalry of the Longqi Army has achieved a breakthrough development.

At the same time, as most of the Khitan army slowly moved northward, the confrontation and entanglement between the two scouts and the horses became more and more cruel between the mountains and rivers of Lin Lu and Anyang.

On the north bank of Huanshui, more than a hundred cavalry, led by Han Tong, were temporarily repaired, the soldiers ate and the horses drank water.Han Tong's expression is very serious and looks very dull. Although he has been promoted, he has been in a bad mood recently. He has been holding his breath, wanting to make meritorious deeds, to wash away the crime of "violating the military order" and fight for a new establishment. The commander of the Longqi Horse Army.

Liu Chengyou newly established a horse army, which was divided into two battalions, left and right. Han Tong was the commander of the left battalion. As for the army commander, it was temporarily empty.

It didn't take long for a group of cavalry to gallop from the northeast, followed by some Khitan rangers.Looking at the situation, analyzing the situation, and seeing that there were not many enemy cavalry, Han Tong immediately led his men to meet him. After a short and fierce fight, the enemy cavalry retreated.

"Commander, he rescued an officer who escaped from Anyang City. He said he was a subordinate of Xiangzhou who stayed behind. He wants to ask His Highness for help!" Yang Ye put the blood-stained sword into the scabbard and pointed at a wounded officer. Channel to Korea.

Glancing at the person, Han Tong looked eastward, Qiu Lin was isolated from the ups and downs, and his line of sight could not be put too far.In order to prevent accidents, Han Tong directly ordered: "Take him back to Lin Yu. Withdraw!"

Lin considers.Long Qi's entire army of more than [-] people has been stationed here for several days.

After receiving a request for help from Anyang, Liu Chengyou did not make a statement, but only summoned the generals to ask their opinions.

As a result, the consensus is that it can't be saved, it can't be saved.In fact, after learning that Yelu Deguang had traveled to Anyang with more than [-] people, several generals had suggested to Liu Chengyou that they should return to Luzhou.

It's not that they are afraid of the enemy, it's just that they are temporarily avoiding the edge. After all, the strength of the Longqi army is too weak.If Liu Chengyou has enough troops, he doesn't need more, 50,000 people and horses are enough to wrestle with Yelude.

However, Liu Chengyou still did not advance or retreat, and stayed in Lin Yu safely. It seemed that the Khitan people had no intention of coming from the west to deal with them for the time being.

"Liang Hui is guarding Anyang, how can he keep it for so long! How can that messenger escape from Anyang City! You say, is this a trick of the Khitan people to lure our army out?" , Liu Chengyou still put forward a guess with great interest.
