Han Shizu

Chapter 926 The reaction of the Han army

After learning about the turmoil in the rear, Yelvjing had two important tasks in front of her. One was to eliminate the rebels, suppress the country and ensure internal stability, and the other was to try her best to keep the army in the south safe and return to the north.

After making up his mind to withdraw the troops, it was implemented quickly, and Yelujing and his ministers quickly made a withdrawal plan.There are still about 130,000 Liao troops stationed in Yunzhou. If they want to withdraw smoothly, they need careful planning. After all, Fu Yanqing's [-] people are already in Huairen, which can be said to be close at hand.

If before, he was still depressed that the Han army marched conservatively and moved slowly, but now that the situation has changed, and he is worried that the Han army is too close, I hope Fu Yanqing can be more conservative.

However, before all the plans were implemented, the first thing Yelvjing did was to send a thousand cavalry, as the special envoy of the emperor, to return to Shangjing as quickly as possible, and to notify the tribes of various states and counties along the way, and to go up Jing conveyed the news of the emperor and the army, reassuring people.The candidate for the special envoy is Yelu Xiezhen, a rising star who has recently risen in the Liao army.

Afterwards, with the help of his ministers, Yelujing devoted himself to the withdrawal of troops.First of all, he urgently summoned the commanders and generals of the various armies in the cloud to announce their intention to withdraw their troops.Of course, they concealed the domestic turmoil, and faced with the discussion of withdrawing troops, it can be said that the crowd was very happy. The soldiers of the Liao Kingdom did not want to continue fighting for a long time, and this discussion hit the mark.

When the decision is in line with the wishes of the soldiers, it is natural to respond to the crowd, and get twice the result with half the effort. The generals of the Liao army also showed great enthusiasm.In fact, when he announced the withdrawal and noticed the relieved expressions of the generals, Yelvjing couldn't help but sigh silently.

The route for the withdrawal of the troops is very well drawn up. The Yunzhou army will withdraw directly to the north, go to the Yinshan Mountains, and exit the Great Wall.Of course, if you want to return to Shangjing in a hurry, the best route is to go east, via Huai'an County, take Wuzhou and go north to the Great Wall.Although there is a detour, it is closer to Shangjing, but there is a direct confrontation with Murong Yanzhao's army, and the army will pass by, afraid of taking risks.

As for the Yelusha army in Wende and Huai'an areas, they went directly north to Yehuling. The area around Yehuling is complex in terrain and easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In any case, it is not difficult for the Liao army to leave without fighting with the Han army.Compared with the time in Nankou, the situation is much better.

Even so, there are still problems.The army of the Liao Kingdom had a lot of livestock, so its mobility was strong, but it also needed all kinds of supplies and goods, which would affect the speed of the march.

The transfer of the army is not a big problem. The key lies in the Liao people in Yunzhou. As for the population, Yelvjing is unwilling to leave it to the Han army.Relocation is the most troublesome and problematic thing.On the issue of emigration, Hu Min and Han Min were further divided.

In the end, under the strong dissuasion of Yelu Wuzhi and others, Yelujing gave up the idea of ​​leading the entire population of Yunzhou to retreat northward due to the urgency of the situation.

It is just to announce to the people under the rule that the war is imminent, in order to avoid the loss of life, the people can take their families and take refuge by themselves.Because before this, the Liao army had already made some preparations to fortify the walls and clear the country. Therefore, the official notice was handed down, which also caused a wave of northward migration.Of course, the Hu people are the main ones. The Han people living in Yunzhou have a deep love for the soil, and it is not so easy for their families to move north.

At the same time, it is the Han army who are attacking this time. They are of the same language and the same species, so they should not suffer major damage.Well, at this time, I remembered my identity as a Han Chinese.

The people are full of chaos and turmoil, but the retreat of the Liao army is methodical, and the method of moving out in batches is adopted.During this process, Yelujing and his ministers were too busy to touch the ground, and there were still a lot of problems in the actual implementation, and some looting and robbery and brawls occurred.

In short, inside and outside Yunzhou, there is a chaos, and it spreads in the surrounding area, and there is a faint sense of catastrophe coming.However, perhaps Yelvjing wanted to leave a chaotic and broken mess for the Han army.

In Huairen County, [-] Han troops have been stationed here for five full days. During these five days, they did not move a single bit, but stepped up their investigation of the Liao army in Yunzhou.Of course he was aware of the chaos in the north, but Fu Yanqing was still cautious and did not dare to move lightly.

One is that the emperor's "steady and steady" combat policy is working, and the lessons of the Battle of Nankou are a warning that we need to be vigilant and wait for the progress of the other two armies.Of course, although Liu Chengyou claimed to have given the generals the power to make decisions on the fly, he was not completely free to act. Under the general tone of his operations, the generals were still restricted and affected in terms of marching and combat.

The second is that Fu Yanqing had completely seen through the picture that the Liao army lured him to go north. It was a serious preparation for the war, but suddenly it became chaotic. Without knowing the reason, it was hard to guarantee that it was not a conspiracy of the Liao army.

However, after learning about the strange situation in Yunzhou, the generals of the Han army who accompanied the army couldn't sit still. Many people thought that under the oppression of the army, the Liao army could not control themselves, and they would chaos without fighting. They thought it was a fighter opportunity and asked Fu Yanqing Please order to march.However, the scruples in his heart were temporarily suppressed by Fu Yanqing, but he also sent more cavalry to step up spying on the Yunzhou area, especially the Liao army.

"King Wei!" The handsome tent was lifted, and a hot-tempered figure rushed in, calling Fu Yanqing impatiently.

Fu Yanqing was concentrating and raising his eyebrows, studying the map, and when he looked up and saw the person coming, his description stretched out: "General Shi is here, sit down first, come and serve tea!"

"Thank you King Wei for your kindness, no need, the general will not be thirsty!"

The coming general was Shi Yanchao, a general of the Han army. Seeing his restless and impolite behavior, Fu Yanqing had some guesses in his heart, and asked calmly, "What is the general's business?"

"The last general wants to ask, when will we march? We have been stationed in Huairen for five days, and the cloud is right in front of us. When will we delay? Now the Liao army is in chaos." Shi Yanchao represented a large number of Han generals The voice of the heart, of course, is also a desire for meritorious service.

He Shi Yanchao, a veteran in the battlefield, has always galloped and made a lot of meritorious deeds every time he went out to battle, but this time, from the beginning to the end, he didn't get too many opportunities to display it.

Seeing his condition, Fu Yanqing was very reserved and explained to him to comfort him.However, this obviously did not convince him, and Shi Yanchao said loudly: "There is no one who blindly seeks stability in battle on the battlefield. If you miss the opportunity because of this, it will be too late to regret! In the past two days, Liao Qi has attacked wantonly, robbing and killing Our scouts seem to be hiding something, the general thinks that the chaos in Yunzhou may not be due to any conspiracy by the Liao army!"

Noticing Fu Yanqing's tangled brows again, Shi Yanchao cupped his hands and asked: "King Wei, Yunzhou is right in front of you. If you delay and wait and see, you will lose your chance and hurt the morale of the army. If King Wei doubts the Liao army's intentions, the last general will ask for help." Let an army attack it from the north, as a test, to see if it's real or not!"

Hearing what Shi Yanchao said, Fu Yanqing sized him up a few times, thought about it seriously, and knew that he could no longer suppress these high-spirited generals, otherwise it would really hurt morale.

Resuming his seriousness, Fu Yanqing immediately said: "You take [-] cavalry from the headquarters, and go north to try to attack. Remember, the main thing is to test, and you must not fight head-on with the Liao army. After all, there are more than [-] enemy troops, so don't be careless! "

"Yes!" Shi Yanchao agreed quickly, with a smile on his face, and he walked out of the tent at his command.

Soon, in the Han camp, there was a sound of people screaming and horses neighing.Shi Yanchao's suggestion was not reckless. During the past two days, he did have doubts. It may not be a bad thing to let Shi Yanchao use a sharp knife to try it out.

However, after pondering for a while, Fu Yanqing said again: "Come here, go and call Yang Ye, the envoy of the Dingxiang Army!"

"The king of Wei is calling, what is your order?" Compared with Shi Yanchao, Yang Ye's performance was much more comfortable.

Looking at the heroic general in front of him, Fu Yanqing also showed appreciation in his eyes. After several months of contact, he finally understood why the emperor trusted En Chong so much in this young man.

"What's your opinion on the situation of the Liao Army in Yunzhong?" Fu Yanqing asked.

Without hesitation, Yang Ye replied: "The general thinks that the situation is different. No matter what plots the Liao army has, as long as our army is prepared, it is delusional to want to repeat what happened at Nankou. The plan for now is to engage in Know the details and find out the truth. In the past two days, the harassing Liao cavalry suddenly changed their style and strangled my scouts. They clearly wanted to cover up our army's eyes and ears. Therefore, the last general thought that the king of Wei sent General Shi to attack the north There is nothing wrong with doing it!"

Listening to his analysis, Fu Yanqing nodded approvingly, and immediately said: "However, Shi Yanchao is brave and fierce. Fighting on the battlefield is a sharp weapon, but his temperament is a little irritable. I'm afraid that he will rush forward and lose his position. To be safe, You can lead the Dingxiang army to set off afterwards, and also make tentative attacks, move with the camera, or take care of each other. I will lead the army myself, and then march north!"

"Yes!" Yang Ye thought for a while, then raised his robe and cupped his fists in response.

"I'll transfer the [-] Hedong horsemen to your command!" Fu Yanqing said again.

"Xie Weiwang!" Yang Ye smiled.

As soon as the two tentative troops came out, Fu Yanqing's army led by Fu Yanqing slowly marched northward. One hundred thousand Han troops marched towards Yunzhong City.Either don't move, or be thorough at every turn.However, during the preparations for the march, Fu Yanqing received news from Yuzhou that Zhao Kuangyin had captured Lingxian, the city city, and was turning westward, heading towards Yunzhou.With Zhao Kuangyin's army behind him, Fu Yanqing felt more at ease.
