Immortality begins with Xiaoao

Chapter 114 Northern Unification

Two months ago, Miao Jiang.

Facing Twelve Caves, who could not live on the mountain when Li Maozhen asked for help, after Yuan Tiangang came to Miaojiang, it was like a new group of people. Not only did he publicly declare that Chi Li was a traitor and a sinner in Miaojiang, but he also actively helped Yuan Tiangang Search for his whereabouts.

With the cooperation of the local snake Twelve Caves, Chi Li was killed by Yuan Tiangang after hiding for half a month, and all the soldiers he refined were destroyed by the Longxiang army.

Datang Tianji three years in May.

The more than 1 Longxiang troops that will be driven back were still handed over by Yu Fei to the command of Li Maozhen and Guo Wei, and they set off from Changshan as a detour to cut off the back of the Liao army.

On May 23, Tang and Liao met in Weizhou. Although Fu Yanqing, the governor of the Tianxiong Army, was extremely annoyed by Yu Fei's move to cut down the vassal, he was very calm in the face of foreign enemies, and sent the Liao who came to persuade him to surrender. The national envoy beheaded and sent the head to Yu Fei.

Under the background that Pinglu, Yiwu and other vassal towns have taken refuge in the Liao Kingdom, Fu Yanqing's actions are extremely rare.

Yu Fei also reciprocated, making Fu Yanqing King of Yiyang County and temporarily leading the Tianxiong Army.

Since June, Yu Fei has led a large army to fight against Liao Lord Yelu Deguang in Weibo. The Liao Kingdom, which has suffered a loss once, faces Yu Fei although its strength is several times that of Yu Fei, but it is cautious and never advances aggressively. .

And when Yu Fei and the Liao Kingdom fought in Weibo, Li Min of the Southern Tang Dynasty also welcomed a special guest.

"Your Majesty, right now Li Fei is fighting against millions of troops from the Liao Kingdom in Weibo. At this time, as long as His Majesty takes down Bianliang in the Northern Expedition, he will be able to cut off the retreat of Li Fei's army. Once Li Fei dies, the whole world will belong to His Majesty. Don't hesitate, Your Majesty."

Li Min watched Li Siyuan talking eloquently, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought. After coming over for a while, he said:
"If Li Fei is defeated, wouldn't the Khitan army of millions follow the trend to seize the Central Plains? Then wouldn't I become a sinner for the nation, that's wrong."

Li Siyuan chuckled and said:

"Khitan is no more than a barbarian, occupying Yanyun is already the limit, if he dares to spy on the emperor of the Central Plains, it will be his downfall."

"Oh?"

Li Min was puzzled, looked at Li Siyuan and waited for him to explain.

Li Siyuan saluted before saying:
"Your Majesty, please see that Khitan's two trips to the south seem to be overwhelming, but there are prerequisites. The first time was led by Xiao Wang's son-in-law, and many envoys turned a blind eye, but this time it was Li Fei made a foolish move, and before the world was firmly established, he rushed to cut down the feudal clan, which caused dissatisfaction among many Jiedu envoys, and this allowed Khitan to come to Weibo without hindrance."

"As long as the Liao Lord dares to peek at the throne of the Central Plains, he will definitely be backlashed. How many Khitans are there, and how many Han people are there? Those Jiedu envoys are not vegetarians either. Don't worry, Your Majesty."

Li Min nodded and shook his head again:
"It's still not right. Now that the country is unstable, there are still many people loyal to Yang Pu, and there are Wuyue restraints outside. Once I leave, I'm afraid there will be a big change. It's not right, it's not right."

Hearing what Li Min said, Li Siyuan pretended to be thinking deeply, and said after a while:

"Then sent a general to lead the troops?"

Li Min just shook his head and said "no".

At this time Li Siyuan suddenly sighed and said:

"It seems that His Majesty doesn't believe in Xiao Wang, that's all, let Li Fei take over the world. Take care, Your Majesty, and the ministers are leaving."

Li Min just smiled and watched Li Siyuan's performance, Li Siyuan said he wanted to leave, but his feet didn't move.

"Okay, Li Siyuan, there is no need to act any more. I can tell you the truth. My Tang Dynasty has no power to unify the world. Even if Li Fei dies, I will make wedding dresses for others for nothing. If you want to borrow troops, I can give them to you." You have [-] soldiers, but after you succeed, I want Xiangyang and Bashu."

Li Siyuan also suddenly laughed and said:

"Your Majesty has such a big appetite. This is because he wants to take advantage of the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and break through the southeast. Good little king agreed."

In September of the third year of the Tang Dynasty, it had been a year since Yu Fei sent troops from Chang'an, and he had been at Weibo for more than three months with Liao Lord Yelu Deguang.

The soldiers and horses from Taiyuan and Luoyang also joined Yu Fei one after another, and their strength reached 18, less than double the gap with the Liao army.

However, Yelu Deguang has been defeated in these three months, and the morale inspired by revenge for the late emperor has been exhausted. In addition, the Tang army has more and more troops, and began to have the idea of ​​​​retiring, but Shi Jingtan kept dissuading him. , Said that a big change is imminent, and the Tang army can be wiped out immediately.

This made Yelu Deguang persist.

The thirteenth day of October in the third year of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Siyuan set off from Hefei with [-] soldiers borrowed from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and after more than ten days of marching day and night, he came to Bianliang. , cut off Yu Fei's logistics.

Wei Bo Tang army camp, following the news of Bianliang sent back by the messenger, everyone in the big tent was a little flustered, even Wang Yanzhang, who had experienced many battles, was no exception.

"Retreat, Your Majesty, let's go back to Taiyuan first, and fight again next year."

Everyone in the tent nodded upon hearing Wang Yanzhang's words. It is indeed the best policy to retreat to Taiyuan while there is still food and grass.

Yu Fei couldn't deny it, he just looked at the map in front of him.

At this moment, a somewhat immature voice sounded.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the battle opportunity has arrived, and the defeat of the Liao Kingdom is imminent."

Yu Fei looked at Chai Rong, who was only 14 years old, and said with a smile:
"Oh? All the generals want me to retreat, you little halberd bearer, how dare you speak wild words?"

After Chai Rong bowed, he said:
"To report to Your Majesty, our army is several times more elite than the enemy. Your Majesty is wise and doesn't know how many Gao Liao Lords are. We have been entangled here, but because the Liao Lord is timid and dare not fight decisively, we have been fighting. If we are cut off, the Lord of Liao will lead an army to attack at one point, as long as our army is not chaotic, the Liao soldiers will definitely not be our opponents, how can this not be an opportunity to defeat the enemy?"

Everyone looked at each other, only Yu Fei suddenly laughed and said:

"Okay, at such a young age, you have such insight and courage."

After praising Chai Rong, Yu Fei stood up and shouted:
"Everyone will obey."

"the end will be"

"Wang Yanzhang, you will take [-] cavalry to the Liao army camp to provoke you tonight. They will not dare to come out. After the sky is completely dark, you will go east and temporarily station in PY. After the Liao army leaves, you will take Bozhou cut him off."

"The last will obey."

Yu Fei nodded, looked at everyone in the tent again, and said:
"The rest of the generals will go to Xiangzhou at midnight tonight."

"The last will obey."

On October 17th, the third year of the Great Tang Dynasty, the Tang army's food road was cut off, and Emperor Shizu led his army to withdraw to Xiangzhou. Liao Lord Yelu Deguang led an army of one million in an attempt to annihilate the [-] Tang army.

The two sides fought in Xiangzhou for two days, and the Liao army was defeated. Yelu Deguang led the army back to Bozhou. He didn't want Bozhou to be occupied by Wang Yanzhang, the king of Nanping, so he had no choice but to continue to retreat north.

But Emperor Shizu chased and killed countless prisoners all the way.

When the Lord of Liao retreated to Youzhou, he discovered that Youzhou had been lost. He was chased and killed by the army led by Guo Wei, the king of Pingyang County, and Li Maozhen, the uncle of the country, and was finally beheaded by the Lushui River.

At this point, Liao's vitality was seriously injured, so it had to abandon its ancestral land and move westward, away from the Tang Dynasty's military front, and finally re-established the country west of Central Asia, known as Xiliao in history.

In January of the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army broke through Bianliang again. The rebel Li Siyuan burned the Bianliang Palace and died by self-immolation. Tang officially unified the north.

In the whole world, only the Southern Tang, Southern Han, and Wuyue have not yet been unified.
