Monument Yangmen

Chapter 719 Rebels?

"Hey~"

The only thing Yang Qi left behind at the top of Youzhou City was a heavy sigh.

Hundreds of thousands of troops rushed out of Youzhou City and headed straight for Shunzhou.

Li Jilong, a young and ambitious general, is on horseback, experiencing the thrill of holding a heavy soldier in his hand.

For any ambitious person, holding power is what they yearn for.

When Li Jilong was first transferred to Zhending Mansion, he was almost crazy with joy.

The reason why he came to the border was to fight wars, to make contributions, and to revive the reputation of the Li family.

But since he led the army to station at Yanmen Pass, all the wars seemed to be out of date with him.

Yang Yansi, the famous Northwest Tiger Marquis, defeated Yeluxiu twice, and the Liao people he fought did not dare to invade his territory, and even the Yanmen Pass could not get involved in the war.

Zhao Guangyi's Northern Expedition to the Liao Kingdom gave him hope.

After he felt the Zhending Mansion excitedly, he realized that Zhao Guangyi sent him here not to fight the war, but to act as a guard.

Li Jilong's mood became much lower again.

I thought I was going to have nothing to do with the war.

But he didn't expect that Cao Bin was bewitched by Yang Qi, offended Long Yan, and was deposed from the military power, so he actually got a chance.

He was a guard who was in charge of a level before, and he became a commander in power with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hand.

Although he does not have the title of commander-in-chief, he has the authority of commander-in-chief.

This is already very good for him.

It would be even better if there were no two civil servants, Li Fang and Zhang Qixian.

Li Jilong led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and soon left the territory of Youzhou.

Stationed at the junction of Youzhou and Shunzhou for one night, the army entered Shunzhou the next day.

As soon as he entered Shunzhou, Li Jilong never had the leisure he had in Youzhou.

Small groups of Liao troops continued to rush out from the side, attacking the main army.

Li Jilong didn't feel disgusted by this, on the contrary he was very happy.

There are small units of the Liao army who continue to attack, which is in line with the habits of the Liao army in combat.

This shows that Brother Yeluxiu sent a lot of soldiers and horses to exhaust the enemy.

At the same time, it also shows that the news that Cao Bin said in the Buddhist hall that the Shunzhou River has dried up and that Brother Yeluxiu's layout in Shunzhou is false.

If Brother Yeluxiu really made arrangements in Shunzhou, how could he send so many soldiers to attack them?
Could it be that Brother Yeluxiu would kill his own people in order to kill the enemy?

There were quite a few Liao troops attacking them, it was impossible for Brother Yeluxiu to count his own people in order to make a plan.

With this in mind, the army found a flat place to set up camp after defeating the sneak attack of the No.17 Boliao Army.

night time.

Li Jilong, Li Fang, and Zhang Qixian were all discussing matters in the military tent.

Three people sat around a table.

Li Fang said cheerfully: "Since we entered Shunzhou, we have encountered a total of [-] waves of sneak attacks by the Liao army. It seems that Brother Yeluxiu wants to repeat the old trick and wants to frequently attack our army's baggage in order to coerce us to retreat. Purpose."

Zhang Qixian also had a smile on his face, "This just shows that what Cao Bin and Privy Councilor Cao said in the Buddhist hall were false."

Li Fang nodded and said with emotion: "Fortunately, I was more thoughtful. After entering Shunzhou, I immediately sent people to the Shunzhou River to check the situation. Just like what the eunuch Chen Lin said, the Shunzhou River It didn't dry up, but the water flow was much, much smaller, presumably caused by severe drought."

Zhang Qixian pondered for a moment, then said: "You said, what is the meaning of Privy Councilor Cao's release of such fake news at a critical moment?"

Li Fang frowned and shook his head.

They have already proved that what Cao Bin said was a lie, so what is the purpose of Cao Bin telling the lie?

Neither Zhang Qixian nor Li Fang could figure it out.

Li Jilong, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Probably because he is afraid of the master..."

Li Jilong glanced at the two of them calmly, and said calmly: "The two adults should know that our Great Song Dynasty cannot tolerate people with great achievements..."

Li Fang and Zhang Qixian nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

They couldn't figure out Cao Bin's intentions, and Li Jilong's statement was the most reasonable.

With Cao Bin's status today, there is no seal.

In Zhao Guangyi's mind, he would never allow a king with a different surname to appear under his command.

So if Cao Bin really came back with the victory of conquering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, Zhao Guangyi had no choice but to kill him.

Cao Bin sensed the danger in advance, so he procrastinated in this battle and refused to make contributions.

Thinking about it this way, they can understand what Cao Bin did.

After the three of them 'understood' Cao Bin's approach.

I don't care about the 'rumor' that the Shunzhou River has dried up.

The army was stationed at the border of Shunzhou overnight.

The next day.

Li Fang and Zhang Qixian urged Li Jilong to step up the march early in the morning.

The purpose of their trip was not simply to help Li Jilong fight, but also had other purposes.

The imperial court's policy of using civil to control military is already obvious, but after civil servants arrive in the army, they can only take positions such as supervising the army.

Although he has a lot of authority, when he encounters top generals like Cao Bin, the supervisor in the army still has to put his tail between his legs.

Therefore, Li Fang and Zhang Qixian's trip was not only to help Li Jilong fight, but also to prove to Zhao Guangyi the possibility of fighting with civil and military forces, and to use this to further let the civil servants extend their hands into the army more.

Once they control the power of martial arts, then they can truly achieve the ultimate goal of sharing the world with the king.

Under the urging of Li Fang and Zhang Qixian, Li Jilong began to step up his march.

After another day's journey, they finally arrived at the first city in Shunzhou.

Facing the defenders in the city, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army showed their heroic fighting power.

All in one go.

Within a day, Li Jilong began to approach Shuncheng, the main city of Shunzhou, with the three cities of Keshunzhou.

After the good news spread to Youzhou City, Zhao Guangyi happily ran barefoot in the Buddhist hall, and proudly told the abbot in the temple that he decided to subsidize the abbot with 1 taels of sesame oil.

Not only that, Zhao Guangyi also specially set up a banquet, and invited Zhao Pu, Zhao Defang, Cao Bin, Yang Qi and others to brag about how fierce and capable the soldiers under his command are during the banquet.

And he himself is so wise and invincible, he went straight after Qin Huang and Han Wu, commanded soldiers and horses to fight, and was invincible and invincible.

In short, with his own pride and the praise of many civil servants, he has become an invincible general who has been delayed by the throne.

At the same time, he warned Cao Bin cryptically, saying that Cao Bin was old and unable to bear the heavy responsibility.

While Cao Bin and Yang Qi were at the banquet, they looked at the complacent Zhao Guangyi, with deep worries on their faces.

Just when Zhao Guangyi was celebrating in Youzhou City.

At the northernmost border of Shunzhou.

A series of tents are set up on the bank of a wide river.

The water of the big river has already overflowed the original channel, and widened nearly ten times.

A dam several tens of feet high straddles the big river, cutting off the flow of the big river.

Hundreds of thousands of peasants, driven by the Liao army with leather whips, are constantly strengthening the dikes that are frequently leaking.

The scene was magnificent.

Above the middle of the embankment, there is a notch about ten feet high.

The turbulent river water is constantly rushing down the notch.

Brother Yeluxiu's king's car stopped by the river.

Beside Wang Jia, an arc-shaped animal skin tent was surrounded to help Yeluxiu block the gust of wind that was blowing slowly.

A thick animal skin blanket was spread on the ground, and Brother Yeluxiu was sitting on the blanket, sipping tea carefully.

The messengers kept running from a distance, telling him what the Song army was doing after they entered Shunzhou.

Every time he heard that the Song Army went deeper into Shunzhou, the smile on Brother Yeluxiu's face became stronger.

So repeated, three days later.

When Yeluxiu brother Song Jun was about to arrive in Shuncheng, he laughed loudly.

"The big thing is done!"

Brother Yeluxiu drank the Daohuaxiang tea in his cup in one gulp, and waved his hand to order the messengers beside him, "Let the people below drown the explosives according to the plan, and at the same time let the civilian men who built the dams be able to withdraw."

Yelu Xiezhen, who had been transferred by Brother Yeluxiu two days ago, frowned after hearing Brother Yeluxiu's order.

"Brother Xiu, those soldiers who were in charge of attacking the Song Army have not yet withdrawn, should we wait for them to withdraw before blowing up the dam?"

Brother Yeluxiu was taken aback, turned around and glanced at Yelu Xiezhen, frowned and said: "You have been appointed as the Privy Envoy of the Daliao Dynasty, and you have the greatest authority in the army under this king.

You don't understand the principle that kindness does not control soldiers, do you? "

Yelu Xiezhen's face was ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "But they...many of them are members of the tribe. Naturally, I, Yelu Xiezhen, will not be soft on foreigners, but I, Yelu Xiezhen, can't let the people of the tribe die innocently."

Brother Yeluxiu's face darkened, and he shouted coldly: "Those who do big things don't care about small things. You should understand what this battle means to me in Daliao. I won in Daliao, not only can I keep the rich Yanyun Sixteen states, there is a better chance to plan for the thousands of miles of land in the Central Plains.

But once I lose the Great Liao, we can only return to the white mountains and black waters and continue to live a hard life.

So in this battle, I, Daliao, must win.

In order to win this battle, not to mention sacrificing some clansmen, even if this king pushes all his wives and children to death, this king will not hesitate. "

Brother Yeluxiu's voice became colder as he spoke, "You should understand what it means to withdraw the clansmen at this time. Once the clansmen who attacked the Song Army withdraw, the Song Army is likely to find out the situation carefully set up by the king in Shunzhou. They only need to By detouring towards Yunying and pulling towards Yunying, I can avoid this king's plan.

Once this opportunity to kill Song Jun is missed, millions of Song Jun will come to Gubeikou.

Do you think you can stop a million Song troops? "

After teaching Yelu Xiezhen, Brother Yeluxiu coldly reminded Yelu Xiezhen, "This king has been fighting all the time, and his health has long since deteriorated. But you are in your prime. You are the king's promising successor. So this king doesn't want you to say such childish things again."

Yelu Xiezhen lowered her head in shame.

Brother Yeluxiu left Yelu Xiezhen, who was ashamed, and returned to the army to give orders.

Brother Yeluxiu was not only satisfied with flooding the Song Army's victory, he also wanted to take advantage of the flooding of the Song Army to beat the dog in the water and counterattack back.

It would be best to scrape another piece or two from Song Guo while taking back Youzhou.

Brother Yeluxiu gathered troops and stood under his royal banner, and said coldly: "Once the river breaks its banks, all the troops will act according to the orders of the king. I don't mind killing anyone who does not follow the orders of the king. He, change to someone who is more obedient.

This king does not need any prisoners in this battle, do you understand? "

"Shu~"

"Follow your Majesty's orders!"

Don't need any captives?
This is to kill all the Song troops encountered.

The reason why Brother Yeluxiu has become so vicious is because Yang Qi is the culprit.

Last year when the Tongtaiguan battle broke out, Yang Qisheng captured brother Yeluxiu's son Yelu Dashi.

After being punished, he sent people to Shi Shouxin, and Shi Shouxin sent people to Waqiao Pass.

That bastard Wang Chao didn't know what he was thinking, so he sent someone to chop off an item from Yelu Dashi's body every day and send it to Brother Yeluxiu.

Even delivered for a month.

Only then did Brother Yeluxiu collect his son's complete body.

Since then, Brother Yeluxiu has breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that he kept the breath in his heart and never showed it.

Now that he has seized the opportunity of revenge, how could he not recover this blood debt.

……

The Liao army was ready to go, and was preparing to go down the torrential flood to give the Song army a ruthless blow.

Song Jun, who didn't know that he was in danger, finally arrived in Shuncheng under the leadership of Li Jilong.

The city of Shuncheng is far less vast than Youzhou City, nor is it as big as Youzhou City.

But the walls of Shuncheng are very high.

In addition to the city walls, there are urns, archery towers and so on.

What makes Li Jilong and others feel strange is that there are not only the defenders of Shuncheng on the city wall of Shuncheng, but also the civilians in Shuncheng. Song Jun under the city.

Li Fang rode his horse and Li Jilong stood side by side in front of the battle.

He looked at the defenders and the people on the top of the city, and said mockingly: "What is this? Is there no one in the Liao Kingdom? They dragged all the old and weak women and children into the city and defended the city together."

Zhang Qixian stepped forward immediately, looked at the defenders and people on the top of the city, frowned and said: "Don't be careless!"

Li Jilong also frowned, "My lords, I feel something is wrong."

"There's something wrong there?"

Li Jilong pointed at the people on the top of the city, hesitantly said: "I don't think they are defending the city, but more like taking refuge."

"Refuge?"

Li Fang and Zhang Qixian looked at each other, both stunned.

Then Li Fang laughed loudly: "They are indeed taking refuge, because we are their disaster. Hahaha..."

After laughing, Li Fang looked at Li Jilong and said, "General Li, let's break the city! I look forward to your heroic appearance, so I can send someone to report the success of conquering Shuncheng when it is dark." Go to His Majesty. Presumably, Your Majesty should be waiting soon."

Li Jilong hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

Afterwards, he began to line up his troops, preparing to attack Shuncheng.

"Boom~"

The sound of galloping horses came from far and near.

Immediately afterwards, the ground began to tremble.

Li Fang stared and looked around, "What happened? Dilong turned over?"

Zhang Qixian didn't speak, and his eyes were looking around.

Li Jilong restrained some panicked soldiers under the loud restraint.

Suddenly, he saw nearly [-] soldiers and horses breaking away from the army. He asked vigorously, "What are you doing? Do you want to rebel?"

"Bah! The flood is coming! If you don't run, are you waiting to die with you idiots?"

Li Jilong shouted with a dark face: "Flood, where is the flood? You rebels who took the opportunity to attack!"
